“There Is Nothing Like Being Cuddled Up Under Something Nice And Strong” -Sevyn Streeter

Sevyn Streeter Covers Kontrol Magazine for The New Sexy Cover

At the end of the day when Sevyn takes off the makeup, fancy clothing and puts down the microphone, she is Amber Streeter, a country ass girl from Haines City, Florida who is obsessed with her family and being home. A strong family bond is so important and after being on the road and away from your loved ones, there is nothing like surrounding yourself with those that know you best.

Through every hit single and EP, they were all leading up to this big moment. I asked Sevyn if she had any inspiration while writing her new album, she quickly said, “These NIGGAS…No, but really, I draw inspiration from my life, past relationships, friendships, business relationships, and my own mental psyche!”

We live in a world where everyone wants to appear as if they have it all together but we really don’t! Sevyn admits that she isn’t all the way together but has always used her music as an outlet. The records on the album stirred, shook and disrupted things within her, but it needed to happen, it was so necessary. Through life and love experiences, Sevyn was able to find different ways through the album, as coping mechanisms for the depression that she once experienced.

My Light At The End Of The Tunnel Was My Family

To the young lady going through a bought of depression and is currently listening to “Girl Disrupted” as an outlet, Sevyn expresses that if you listen to the entire album, you’ll be able to tell that she went through the same thing and that you aren’t alone. She also states that it is important to recognize where you are and how far you may have already come. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The light at the end of the tunnel during her period of depression was her family. When she didn’t have it in her to pray for herself, they prayed for her and never gave up!
